~ Be the Best You Can Be!!

Outdoor Code

As an American I will do my best to:

Be clean in my outdoor manners,

I will treat the outdoors as a heritage.
I will take care of it for myself and others.
I will keep my trash and garbage out of lakes,
streams, fields, woods, and roadways.

Be careful with fire,

I will prevent wildfire.
I will build my fires only where they are appropriate.
When I have finished using a fire, I will make sure it is cold-out.
I will leave a clean fire ring, or remove all evidence of my fire.

Be considerate in the outdoors.

I will treat public and private property with respect.
I will use low-impact methods of hiking and camping.
Be conservation-minded.
I will learn how to practice good conservation of soil,
waters, forests, minerals, grasslands, wildlife, and energy.
I will urge others to do the same.
